Keep existing Notion image records current
Send a new description with the matching Notion row reference, and Notis updates the existing image record.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Update row database
Updates or archives an existing notion database row (page) using its `row id`, allowing modification of its icon, cover, and/or properties; ensure the target page is accessible and property details (names/ids and values) align with the database schema and specified formats.
Why this helps
When a description changes, the old version can remain in a database record and mislead the next person who uses it.
- Update the intended existing record with fresh information.
- Keep the latest description near the image metadata.
- Avoid maintaining parallel records for the same image.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AltTextLab and Notion once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Describe how to update the identified Notion row using the submitted description and supplied image details.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real result and its matching Notion row reference.
Questions about this workflow
How does the automation identify the row?
Provide a row reference or enough identifying information for Notis to find the intended record. The AltTextLab description alone may not identify it.
Will it change unrelated Notion properties?
Instruct Notis to update only the relevant image description and supplied details. Check the result during your test run.

Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add multiple content blocks (bulk, user-friendly)
Efficiently adds multiple standard content blocks to a notion page in a single api call with automatic markdown parsing. the 'content' field in notionrichtext blocks now automatically detects and parses markdown formatting including headers (# ## ###), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), strikethrough (~~text~~), inline code (`code`), links ([text](url)), and more. ideal for bulk content creation, ai agents, and replacing multiple individual add page content calls. supports automatic text formatting, content splitting, and up to 100 blocks per request.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Add content to Notion page
Deprecated: appends a single content block to a notion page or a parent block (must be page, toggle, to-do, bulleted/numbered list, callout, or quote); invoke repeatedly to add multiple blocks.
Append complex blocks (advanced, full control)
Appends complex blocks with full notion block structure to a parent block or page. use for advanced scenarios requiring precise control: code blocks, tables, embeds, nested children within blocks, or when working with pre-built notion block objects. requires full notion api block schema - use add multiple page content for simpler content creation.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
Create comment
Adds a comment to a notion page (via `parent page id`) or to an existing discussion thread (via `discussion id`); cannot create new discussion threads on specific blocks (inline comments).
Create Notion Database
Creates a new notion database as a subpage under a specified parent page with a defined properties schema; use this action exclusively for creating new databases.
Create Notion page
Creates a new empty page in a notion workspace.
Delete a block
Archives a notion block, page, or database using its id, which sets its 'archived' property to true (like moving to "trash" in the ui) and allows it to be restored later.
